So I'm screwed???

[pablovi]

I bought a PS3 Bundled with MGS4, it was the 40GB one.

So I won't be able to play SACD? at all?

This sucks.

I'm liking this console less and less every time.

So, there is no way to make it play SACD?

Thanks in advanced.

Correct. The only way you can play SACDs on the 40GB PS3 is playing the CD layer of hybrid SACD discs, but that's no better than playing a regular CD (even though on PS3 that can sound pretty good).

At least you've got the game of the year. ..

Try to enjoy your new console, it's still a great machine

Thanks for your replies.

I wish I knew that before buying it, I would have bought a compatible one.

I don't play CD's on the PS3, I have a dedicated stereo system (Pre and amp) for that, but I wanted to experience a multi channel system. I guess I would have to buy a universal player. I bought the PS3 because I thought it was a universal player, that's what I have been reading in Audio and video forums, but I never thought only some of the PS3 would be like that and the rest, specially the new ones, will have less features.

Well, it's my fault for not knowing what I was really buying. And I can't sell it, since I haven't even paid it (12 payments). But I guess I will have to buy a universal player again, I still need an upscaling DVD that will play all the regions.

Thanks again. and nice web site! I wish I've found it sooner.

My reason for buying it, was getting a BR player with a universal player(DVD, CD, SACD). And I love the BR, I have owned the Ps3 for 3 weeks and I already have 16 BR films and only 2 games.

PS: Yeah I like the MGS series a lot, and that was my other reason for buying it, but I haven't played it yet, just the first episode, it seems extremely difficult for me, I guess I just have to get used to it, but I haven't played it in 2 weeks.
